Lemon Balm

Garden Seeds

Lemon Basil combines the familiar sweetness of basil with a bright citrus aroma that brings fresh flavor to both the garden and the kitchen. Its fragrant green leaves add a refreshing twist to salads, seafood, marinades, sauces, and herbal teas, making it a versatile favorite for home cooks.

Fast-growing and easy to care for, Lemon Basil thrives in warm summer gardens and containers alike. Regular harvesting encourages lush new growth, giving you a continuous supply of aromatic leaves throughout the season.

As the plants mature, delicate white flowers attract bees and other beneficial pollinators, adding beauty and biodiversity to the garden. Whether you’re planting a dedicated herb bed or tucking it alongside vegetables, Lemon Basil brings fragrance, flavor, and pollinator support to your growing space.

Planting Tips:

  • Start: Direct sow after the last frost or start indoors 4–6 weeks before transplanting
  • Depth: ¼” deep
  • Spacing: 8–10″ apart
  • Germination: 5–10 days
  • Light: Full sun
  • Soil: Rich, well-draining soil

Harvest leaves often to encourage bushy growth and the best flavor. Pinch back flower buds if growing primarily for culinary use.
